This study explores the effectiveness of using augmented reality (AR) applications in enhancing students' learning experiences in science classrooms. The study involved 150 secondary school students from a science class, who were randomly assigned to either a control group or an experimental group. The control group received traditional instruction, while the experimental group received the same instruction supplemented with AR-based activities. Pre- and post-tests were conducted to measure students' learning outcomes, and a survey was administered to assess students' perceptions of AR-based activities. The results showed that students in the experimental group had significantly higher learning outcomes compared to the control group. Additionally, the survey results indicated that the AR-based activities were highly engaging and increased students' interest in learning science. These findings suggest that AR has the potential to enhance student’s learning experiences in science classrooms and can be used as a tool to supplement traditional instruction.
